Remove Yellow Spots From Fingernails
If your nails are looking a bit dodgy from all those manicures, try dipping your hands in hydrogen peroxide every day for six to eight weeks. Your nails will sparkle again in no time!
Genetic Mutations
Gene, what? Scientists are exploring the chemical reaction they believe powered the first life forms. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with thiosulfate and releases energy, the result is thought by some scientists to have caused gene mutations that jump-started evolution. So instead of the Big Bang Theory, maybe we're working on the Big Bleach Theory.
Athlete’s Foot Treatment
If you've got chronically funky feet, those over-the-counter treatments probably won't get rid of the problem and your shoes will still smell like old blue cheese. But if you spritz your feet three times a day with a bit of hydrogen peroxide, you just may find your feet get a lot less nasty.
DIY Deodorant
Run out of your favorite deodorant? There's no reason you can't make some yourself. Just mix a bit of water with some hydrogen peroxide, and put it on your underarms. You'll know it's working when your spouse stops moving away from you at the movies or dinner.
Laundry Whitener
Less abrasive than bleach and less toxic than detergent, hydrogen peroxide can be used to whiten and clean sheets. Now, if only it could iron and fold them, too!
Mouthwash
Don't panic if you've got a date with the hubs and you ran out of mouthwash. Swig a little H2O2. Just don't drink it! It'll kill the bacteria in your mouth so your bad breath doesn't kill your evening.
